Gold sovereigns can be appealing coins for bullion investors and collectors for their prominent historical use as circulated currency within the British Empire and as an excellent store of value. The name stems from the English Gold sovereign, which predated it by more than two centuries. The new sovereign was conceived as part of the Great Recoinage of 1816 to help stabilize the British economy following the upheaval due to military and economic wars with the various regimes of a turbulent France. The sovereign coins were to replace the Gold guinea and were worth 20 shillings.

Italian sculptor Benedetto Pistrucci was commissioned by William Wellesley Pole, master of The Royal Mint, to design this new coin. Pistrucci's St. George and the Dragon has been on each sovereign coin's reverse side ever since. The obverse features the reigning monarch at the time of minting. Tradition holds that the direction a monarch faces is always opposite of the monarch that came before. At increments smaller than a full ounce, British Gold sovereign coins can be a more divisible way to build your Gold investment portfolio.
